By any standard, it was an impossible crush I had on her. She was Mt. Everest, a knockout nurse seven years older, in 1972 the difference between Bob Dylan and the Beatles. Almost nowhere else could I have caught her, except for the one place we were, a Catholic summer camp, where isolation, proximity and time could suspend normal convention just enough for it to happen. “Jake, she’s out of your league,” a friend says. “She’s Mt. Everest, and you’re wearing flip-flops.”

This is an amazing story. You think you’re just reading a romance, and you are. It’s a fun, wonderful courtship. Then the end takes you to a place you’re no way expecting.
